USER: #A5211F - Combat training and spars

[swordfucker]

[USER: #A5211F]

This is Lt. Colonel Guren Ichinose of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. I don't expect that to mean anything to any of you, but if it can make anyone take me a little more seriously, then I'll take it.

I'm sure you all saw the illustration of those apparent shadow monsters. If there are dangers, it means we should be ready for them, and somehow I've run into a surprising few people who have enough experience in combat. Some of them don't have any at all.

Would any of you be interested in learning how to fight? To defend yourselves? What about the capable out there— are you willing to teach, or spar to improve yourselves? Let me know, and I can set something up for regular practicing.

That's all.

(OOC: Basically, I thought it might be fun to encourage more random CR with both characters who would like to learn how to fight, and characters who already know how and are willing to teach or spar! If there's enough interest, I can throw up an ooc post with match up sort of things that can provide a semi-regular chance for new CR (via threading or handwaving). Let me know in your tag, or via PM if your character won't tag the post!

Edit: I put up an ooc sign up! Please remember to sign up there if you'd like your character to be included in some fighting (and friendship) styled pair ups!)

I don't know enough to teach, but I'd like to learn more if I can. Practicing with other people sounds like a good idea.

[So there's a vote for yes, that would be nice!! Minato's knowledge of weaponry at all is all whatever he could pick up while trying to survive after being thrown into the thick of things, SO...]

Do you actually have any teaching credentials.

It's me. It's Dextera.

I shouldn't fight others, but if there's another way I can help...

[swordfucker]

Alright, I'll sign you up. What do you think your strengths are?

[Time to analyze everyone to sort this, the fun part.]

[swordfucker]

Yeah. I teach a bunch of kids back home. Next question.

[swordfucker]

Oh, it's you. This makes it a lot easier to talk.

Why shouldn't you fight others? Let's start with that.

[dualtone]

Wow, so you're in a demonic militia and you teach kids?

[swordfucker]

I teach kids that want to join the Moon Demon Company, specifically. It's an elite military group of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army.

[Sass him more, he'll try to figure out who this is]

[dualtone]

What's a Moon Demon?

[passio]

I could kill them.

[ it doesn’t take much! unfortunately. ]

i can do swords
would be interested in someone else who can do swords to train or whatever
but also dont mind teaching swords ig?

[swordfucker]

[Nevermind, tell him who this is so he can go slap them.]

A demon that comes out at night.

Idiot. It's just a name. We use demons to fight vampires.

[dualtone]

Sounds like a real shitty lesser of two evils situation.

[swordfucker]

[Guren is just taking that like overflowing confidence. Which is... definitely not what he got from Dextera the last time he asked him about his skills? He's Intrigued in the worst way.]

Oh? You think you're that good? Why don't you go up against me and give it a shot.

[swordfucker]

That works out. You can go up against me for a practice round and I'll see where to put you.

[If he gets enough people, maybe a little of both!]

[passio]

[ oh no... he doesn’t want to do that! that sounds like a recipe for disaster!! ]

I’m not that good. It’s just that I could kill them.

I could probably kill you too.

[swordfucker]

It's nothing like that. Either you become cattle or you fight to protect your family. What would you do?

Control isn't an issue.

Are you in on this or not?

[swordfucker]

[Ah. Normally, he'd be getting more excited and cocky about this, but the wording (and knowing who it is) sort of tells him that it's not confidence at all. He was hopeful over nothing.]

If you're able to type, then explain yourself thoroughly. How could you kill me?

[dualtone]

I don't have family.

I can't participate with a leg wound, but if anyone wants to learn to throw knives, I can teach that.

[ There, now you know who it is. ]

[passio]

[ sorry to disappoint!! maybe one day dextera will be willing to fight, at which point guren can thoroughly kick his ass. dextera doesn’t need to see guren in action to know exactly how it would go. ]

It’s hard to explain. Can we leave it at that?

I’d like to watch the way you teach.

[swordfucker]

[Oh, it's him.]

Bullshit. I've seen how you and your punk friend act with each other. You're attached at the hip.

I'll write you down for mid distance, then.

[dualtone]

What. No, we aren't. He's just the only person here I know.

[ DON'T MAKE IT WEIRD ]

[swordfucker]

There's no way I could leave something like that alone! You can't just go around saying you could probably kill someone.

[HEAVY SIGH TO HIMSELF... also, he's almost not sure how to reply to that last part. Embarrassing.]

Watching is a little weird, but maybe you'll get something out of it. You can show up. Maybe I can convince you to join in.

[swordfucker]

I don't want to read your sad attempts at denial.

[Guren's here to make it weird all the time]

[passio]

It would be worse if I didn’t say something beforehand.

If I don’t fight, I can’t hurt anyone. Watching is the best thing I can do.
